Dear ALL,
I am proud to announce that "Croizat", a software for quantitative
analysis in biogeography, is finally ready for public release!
"Croizat" is available for free under the GNU General Public License,
version 3.0.
The software is written in Python, using the Matplotlib library with
its Basemap toolkit as the plotting engine and wxPython for the
interface. Hopefully, this program provides an exemple of the
integration of MPL/Basemap into a desktop application with a
wxPython-based GUI.
An overview of "Croizat" features, screenshots, a user's guide,
installation instructions, and download links are available from the
program website at http://panbiog.infobio.net/croizat
The support of Conservation International Brazil
(www.conservation.org.br) is much appreciated.
I thank you all in this list who have contributed for the develpment
of this tool, which I hope may contribute to biodiversity conservation
efforts around the world.
Comments, suggestions, and test/bug reports are always welcome, and
will be included as possible in future versions.
With best regards,
···

Congratulations on reaching such a milestone. Two nitpicks on your release tarball:
1) Standard practice is to include a base directory in the tarball, so that when
the user unpacks it, everything isn't dumped into the current directory, but
rather into its own, self-contained subdirectory. I don't know exactly how you
made your tarball, but this would be as simple as instead of doing this:
cd Croizat-1.00b
tar czf Croizat-1.00b.tar.gz *
doing this (from the parent directory to Croizat-1.00b):
tar czf Croizat-1.00b.tar.gz Croizat-1.00b
2) You should exclude the *.pyc files from your released tarball.
